/ Johann Richard <Johann.richard@dspfactory.ch> was heard to say:
| I have a problem with it which I couldn't resolve until now:
|
| I want to do a "text" diff on some DocBook files. This works fine
| but there is one thing I don't like: My "root" element is doubled
| when there was a change in one of it's attributes, i.e. I get
| something like
|
| <book revisionflag="added" fpi="my_fpi"><book revisionflag="deleted">
| [...]
| </book></book>
That's odd. Can you send me (offlist) a sample that demonstrates this?
| How can I tell DiffMk to either ignore this change on the root
| element *or* to mark it as "modified"? I tried to better understand
| the configuration files, but I don't have a clue where to start.
I recently changed the rules for diff to ignore attributes.
Be seeing you,
norm
